Replacing two distinct parts of the page with a GET request through a link.

[rockwellll]

HI.

So. basically i have this

What i want is, that when you click on a conversation of the left side.

• it will perform a GET request to the server
• Render back two turbo-stream tags to replace parts of the DOM.

But, currently i just cant wrap my head around it and can't get it to work.

The requests made via the link are always processed as HTML. Meaning i get a blank page like this

This is what i responed with

  def show
    render layout: false, content_type: "text/html; turbo-stream"
  end

My problems are

• i don't know how can i make the links send requests as TuboStreams
• Dont know how to replace these two elements.

NOTE
i know that using target=_top will solve that. but the page does some heavy calculations, so unfortunately that's not possible.

I have also looked at #56 but with no luck.

Thanks
